To all right wingers: Social Security is in great shape and will be until 2038 and after that it would still be able to pay 80% of all benefits. A minor tweak is needed to insure it works for many decades to come. The right wants to eliminate this program and all other programs like it, but eh American People are smarter than the right wingers…………….

Cathy I’m not saying the Republicans are any better. I support the Dems because they share my values the most. However when it comes to fiscal equality both parties fail miserably.

Corporations and banks are getting more tax breaks, credits and subsidies than ever. I always keep mentioning here that Apple Inc paid 2% in taxes, meaning that if politicians will just close the loopholes and tax everyone fairly regardless of their power and position in society, then there will be enough revenues that Social Security and Medicare will not look like a giant elephant in the room anymore.

But the truth is that DC is ruled by Wall Street, so they get to have whatever they want and the rest of us get screwed and spend the rest of our lives making them richer. The deal YES saved the middle class by not raising their taxes, but aside from that it was a slap in the face.

The middle class won with obama’s fiscal cliff solution because it means the economy will not collapse as it would if the right wing had their say.

**************************
How did the middle class win, since Obama and the democrats raided taxed on the middle class by 2%?

Didn’t MSNBC tell you that? Or I guess you don’t work, so you didnt see it in your paycheck…

The high fraud is a big reason so many people ask for cuts. The numbers you state are just the tip.

—————————————-

IMO all fed govt programs can be cut. Ask for one penny on the dollar & some liberals scream we are starving granny.

Eric Bolling wants The Five to be number 1 in 2013. Bill O will be wanting him fired in 2013.

Hannity needs to go on The Daily Show, Colbert Report & the late night talk shows. I don’t know if any of them have invited him. I’ve never saw him on TV except on his own show. Now that i think about it I’ve never seen him on other FNC shows. I don’t watch a lot of the shows so maybe he has. Heck Bill O even goes on the View.

@Hillbilly,

Hannity’s 3-hour radio program in the afternoon probably limits the time available to appear on other programs. Gutfeld has asked Hannity to guest on Red Eye; that hasn’t happened yet.
O’Reilly still has contacts from his days on broadcast TV, plus it’s harder to ignore the top host in cable news.

@ STAN T,

“I love it…Keithie Overman is out of work once more…lol”

Olbermann was fired long time ago by Current … way before this sale was done.

Teddy Bridgewater is the man.

To all the conservatives complaining about the the crying man, Speaker John Boehner making a deal. Well, we have to win an election or two and then we can complain.

The Dems made deals with Bush when we had control of the Government.

I still hate the corrupt, so-called objective, leftest media.

I am in love so I don’t care much what is going on outside my world these days. Sicilian Papa haters will be waiting for my relationship to crash and burn.

As Mark Twain once said if you don’t like the weather in New England wait a minute.

Happy New Year everyone!

Tingles has a thrill up his leg in 2013. What a weenie!

Sicilian Papa

Obama’s poll numbers are way up!

The corrupt, so-called objective, leftest media is a nice poodle to own.

Wait until this bubble burst. Obama’s leftest economic policies will bring our country to it’s knees. Print some more money O. He learned economics as a Community Organizer in Chicago.

Very weak numbers for Fox News, down from previous years. MSNBC still up from previous years. I don’t expect the right to figure that out given the recent issues with arithmetic.

Ya know….tax cuts will grow the economy or “Romney landslide” that type of counting…

Lol! President Obama 51% to Romney 47% (in case ya forgot)

What can you expect when a garbage “News” organization calls the Secretary of State a liar during her medical incident. I’m sure many are still turning Fox off more often than not.

Good morning , Jeff. What a way to spend your birthday , appliance shopping.

Some good news to start the weekend.

Nine states have regained all jobs lost to recession

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Nine states and the District of Columbia have recovered all of the jobs they lost during the recession.

1. Texas

2. NY

3. N.D.

4. District of Columbia

5. Louisiana

6. Oklahoma

7. Alaska

8. Nebraska

9. S.D.

10. W.V.

California, Florida and Nevada are struggling the most. California is 891,200 jobs under its pre-recession employment total, the nation’s worst shortfall in raw numbers. Florida is next with a drop of 725,700. Nevada’s five-year decline of 12.5 percent is the biggest fall in percentage terms.

Sorry to leave you out.Hi, Pappa . “A’int love grand?”

I like keeping an eye out for innovative ideas.

“A futuristic highway that can save energy and improve road safety is set to be installed in the Netherlands by mid-2013. Two companies, Studio Roosegaarde and Heijmans Infrastructure, came up with the highway, which includes: glow-in-the-dark road markings painted with photo-luminescent paint which are charged during the day and light up during the night; temperature-responsive paint which indicates slippery roads when temperatures fall below zero; and interactive lights along the highway that light up as cars approach. Wind lights that light up using the draft produced by cars and priority induction lanes that can recharge electric cars as they run along them also feature. The luminous road markings and weather indicating roads will debut in the Dutch province of Brabant in the middle of next year. The wind powered and interactive lights along with the induction lanes are also planned to go into service in the next years”

Jeff

Good morning d.d. I love a bargain! So I very much enjoyed the day, had a great dinner at a place I had been missing the last several months, they just reopened after a remodel. No one seemed to know that…so we almost had the whole joint to ourselves. Film Festival is taking place in Palm Springs so I get the heck out of there and returned to the calm of Los Angeles, lol!

Have a great Saturday!

Jeff

Stan T. I don’t believe that Keith O has been on Current TV for a couple years now, so the champagne you are celebrating with might be a bit stale.

Keith was let go from msnbc and Current because he seems to be a pr!ck to work with. Beck was let go because he became a failure at Fox News.

I’d prefer to watch a off camera pr!ck, over a on camera pr!ck anyway

Happy New Year!

You know why so me people think Keith still works for current tv? Because current tv is the station that covered his firing.
